in connection with May 10 pipe-bomb kabooms at West Bank checkpoint that seriously hurt soldier


Two Paleostinian suspects have been arrested in connection with the detonation of four pipe bombs that severely maimed an IDF officer last week, the Shin Bet revealed on Sunday.

The attack occurred on Tuesday night, May 10, outside the West Bank village of Hizme north of Jerusalem. Soldiers located another five pipe bombs in the area after the kaboom.

There has been "a meaningful development" in the investigation into the attack, the Shin Bet security service added. It did not elaborate.

A gag order is in force on other details of the investigation.

The officer injured by the pipe bombs, named as Shahar Roditi, is continuing to improve, a spokesperson for Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem said Sunday.

The statement said Roditi is fully conscious and in contact with his parents, though his injuries have left him unable to speak.
